Mike Middleton Guitar AcademyMusic Teacher in Indianapolis, IN

I have a passion for guitar, music and for the progress of my students. I've taught hundreds of children and adults to play guitar over the years. I've aquired some very valuble teaching skills. I have a teaching methodology, but I certainly must customize each of my lessons to acomodate the student.

I am an easy going instructor. I want the lessons to be fun, but I also want the student to learn to play the guitar as quickly as possible. I strive to teach them the songs that they want to learn, but I also strive to teach them knowledge and skills that will make them great musicians. I've been teaching guitar since 1998. I taught at the Noisemaker Music Store in Wabash, Indiana for 9 years and I've also taught at Sam Ash Music store in Caslteton, Indiana.

I began playing guitar in 1982. I've studied with several professional guitar instructors over the years. I spent a few years in the Bandstand Music Program in Wabash, Indiana in the early 80s and eventually studied at Thomson's Music in Indianapolis until 1986.

Customer Testimonials

Dawn Garland

Mike is a great teacher. His lessons are thorough and well planned. I have learned more as an adult from Mike than I ever did as a kid from two former teachers. He is also very patient and attentive to technique and style. I highly recommend lessons from Mike whether you are a beginner or a seasoned player that may just need a tune up. You'll definitely learn something.
